Thumbs up for Ellen Page!

 “I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility. I also do it selfishly, because I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission.”

26 year old Juno-star wow-ed me with an literally breathtaking speach past valentines day. Even before her outing half through the speech I was fascinated by how good she could put my thoughts in words. I just had to share what she has to say with all of you.

"This world would be a whole lot better if we would just make an effort to be less horrible to one another!"

Her speech doesn't only affect the special or different ones among us. It affects every single one of us, as we all want the world to be a better, loving place. Take the time, she's really worth it!

 

 

"What I have learned is that love - the beauty of it, the joy of it and yes, even the pain of it - is the most incredible gift to give, to recieve as a human being. And we deserve to recieve love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise!"

Lots of Love, V

The Happiness Project - Spread the Happiness!

I'm so excited! Seconds ago I finished my first ever YouTube-Video. My cause? A project! I was incredibly nervous, I hope it doesn't show too much.

In the german facebook community there's a game going around called "Halbe exen gegen Lernstress". It's about uploading a video in which you drink half a liter of beer. (I know, right?) So after I saw a friend of mine donating to the Philippines instead of drinking I thought that was something that should be spread! So I'll make a start!


Watch and learn:



So, what do you think? I hope I find a lot of happiness-spreaders among you! Here some of my ideas how to spread a little happiness:

  • Write a nice letter.
  • Clean your parents car.
  • Bake a cake. Or brownies. Or something else.
  • Donate something. Anything.
  • Pass a compliment to every person you meet. 

Most important: film yourself doing it! Upload it to facebook and nominate three other friends to Spread the Happiness!

If you want to see your video on this blog just put #tidhappy in the description of your movie. Can't wait to see them all!

...because a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear!
